PRESENT RAILROAD BUILDING.
A Scarcity of Rails, but the Roads Are
Icing RanidIx Pushed Ear,,-ard

Because of the lack of rails the line of
the Southern Pacific from Newhall, that is
now within few miles of Santa Barbara.
will not be into that place for two months
at least. Secretary Douty, of the Pacific
improvement Company, the organization
that does the construction work of the
Southern Pacific Company, said today that
all the projected extensions through the
State cannot be built for the same reason.
There is great demand ON the Eastern
mills for rails, suggestive of remarkable
activity in railroad building in all par's of
the United States. The order of the I'm
proyement Company for material was sent
in late to the manufacturers, for until a
comparatively short time it was not ex-
pected that so much would be needed.
Many hundred tons Of rails are now on
their way both overland and coming by
Cape Horn The first overland consign-
ment will 20 direct to Santa Barbara from
Scranton, Pa.
Above Santa Barbara, y said Mr. Douty,
= the country is full of surveyors. They
are marking out a route up the coast TO
Templeton. Just how the line will 90 we
do not know yet. 1t is not known whether
it will go east or west of the little narrow
gauge line below San Luis Obispo. That
line is built en- a bToad-gauge bed, but so
are all narrow-gauge lines, because the cost
of such construction is very little more"
In the Capay valley, above Madison,
Yolo county, graders are at work on the ex-
tension that is to run into Lake county,
eventually. 'Clear Lake is the settled
terminus, said Mr. Douty. and the road
is sure TO get there as fas; as we can build
it. You can safely put it down that any
district that is really in need of railroad
line will get one as sure as anything can
be-
Surveyors are busy in FL Dorado county
on the long-talked-of extension from Shin
gle Springs to Placerville. They ere also
at work in Napa and Sonoma counties To-
eating the route that will connect Santa
Rosa with Napa Junction. Then Santa
Rosa will have competing line with the
San Francisco and North Pacific Coast.
Passengers may then go to Santa Rosa by
way of the Oakland ferry and Vallejo
Junction. With the addition of the sur
yey in progress on the line between Tracy
and Huron, on the west side of the San
Joaquin, the above is complete enumer-
alton of all the projected lines of the In

ST. THOMAS (0nt.), July 15th.-A terrible
accident occurred at the crossing of the
Grand Trunk and Michigan Central rail-
ways in this city about o'clock this even
ing. An excursion train on the Grand
Trunk, from Port Stanley, ran into pass

THE OIL INSTANTLY TOOK FIRE
And burned with great fierceness, com
municating to the cars on both trains, and
extending to Griffin's warehouse, the coal
and lime sheds adjoining the track on the

TERRoR-sTRICKEN PEOPLE.
The forward car of the excursion train
was filled with passengers, who made
frantic efforts to escape, but notwithstand-
ing hundreds of brave and willing hands
were Immediately at work to assist in their
rescue, it is feared number of lives have
been lost, and that they will be burned
beyond recognition before their bodies can
be got out of the wreck.
AN OIL CAR EXPLoDEs.
AT s o'clock, when thousand people
were crowding around the burning pile,
one of the oil tanks on the cars suddenly
exploded. throwing hundreds TO the ground

The House of Lords Adopt the Coercion
Bill in Committee.
LONDON, July 15th.-The crimes bill was
discussed in committee in the House of
Lords tonight. Lord Northbrook GiberaD
expressed surprise at the summary disposal
OF the debate on the bill yesterday. Before
proceeding further with Irish legislation he
urged the party leaders to give the country
definite answers on four points. Were the
Irish members to remain in Westminster /?
Was the Province of Ulster to be treated
separately from the rest of Ireland? Was
the duty to maintain law and order to be
lntrusted to the Irish Parliament? Was
the power over land TO be committed to the
Irish Parliament?
Lord Rosebery (Liberal) held that the
discussion of these points was outside the
scope OF the crimes bill The Liberal Peers
were IN hopeless minority, and could do
no more than protest against the bill. In
conclusion, he said he felt bound to warn
the Government of the effect of the meas
ure. Their administration in Ireland would
have to be continued in state of siege.
After further brief discussion the bill
was passed in committee without amend
ment, and will be read the third time on
Monday
